I'm using a pattern from the 1950's that requires a lot of yardage, and I have a lot of this fabric in a beautiful shade of pink. It's cord but the cord isn't noticable unless you get up close. I have gold chiffon I could pull a substitution for but I was saving that for another project.
Would it be a major faux pas to use the cord? The finished product would look quite like this:
